I have found the \placefigure command to be somewhat unpredictable.
I am doing book reviews on 11 x8.5 format (i.e. landscape), double column.

book, typically 1.5in x 2in.
If I use \placefigure the picture ends up in the middle and the short lines
fall under it. If however I do something like:

Then it works. (\bk is a macro for \hfil \break).
